I think Gruber is being extremely optimistic here. It is indeed very strange that Apple is shipping new iPads every year, each revision making iPadOS even more comically out of touch with the hardware on which it runs. I'm sure Apple i

The ones that post wider ranges will still benefit from the power imbalance. Many people looking for jobs don't have the means to be choosy, and many companies aren't looking for the best of the best, they just need people.

Interesting. I tried Wipr on macOS Safari for a couple weeks about a year ago, and there was effectively no ad blocking on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter, which is coincidentally where I spend the bulk of my time. It was a frustrating experien

We can have this discussion if the situation carries on through this year. I agree a lot of places have had suboptimal schooling, some better than others, but I'd rather save lives and hold off on dissecting animals for a year.

I'm not sure you understand the consequences of an overwhelmed medical system. Regardless, school is being done online. Kids that needed laptops got them.

Who knows. The alternative was not closing schools while cases were increasing exponentially. Is that a theory we should be testing when we've already paused elective medical procedures due to the wave of COVID patients?

I don't know if we can conclusively say what specific action needs to be taken other than halt contact. We were on an extremely bad path, and I don't know what else could have been done since we had little vaccine supply at that t

You just contradicted the website you linked, I'm confused. > Hospitalization rates in children are significantly lower than hospitalization rates in adults with COVID-19, suggesting that children may have less severe illness from C

by raydev 5y ago
Perhaps, but do you lock everything down mid-spike when you know the current rate will lead to extreme triage measures within two weeks, or do you wait two weeks to act and start rejecting patients as they continue to flood in?

Fewer travellers in and out of Sweden.

Yeah because it appears to have helped reverse cases both in January and this month.
825.
by raydev 5y ago
Conveniently skipping over the occupied ICUs. How do you not know that our medical system was overwhelmed or that the rise in cases only reversed after we shut down schools both times in the last 4 months?
826.
by raydev 5y ago
I don’t know why no one is saying this, but Ontario’s ICU numbers skyrocketed to 900 at the peak just a few weeks ago. We’re only down to 700 occupied beds now and normal medical procedures are still paused because of the enormous ICU load.

You can’t assert this without confirming that zero restrictions would have led to the same number or fewer deaths.

This is my take as well. Apple messed up by recruiting him, and then severely messed up by ripping his job away at the last minute. That has a real human cost, and I think despite his obvious social toxicity in the workplace, Apple owes him

I haven't noticed the change either, scrolling is somewhere less than 60fps on new Mac hardware. It's the only thing about VS Code I would change: have it use native APIs for text rendering so we can get the same framerate as nati

Comically, everything on this list can be attributed to people not leaving their houses as often as before the pandemic. Why do we care if those things are cheaper if no one needs them?

As an employer, your relationship with your employees is by its very nature paternalistic, as you dictate the terms of their labor.

Grinding fast builds helps you when you're fighting. :) Boxing someone and then editing a hole to shoot them is sort of "top tier" gameplay. In general, not only do you have to shoot people as in a typical FPS, but you have a

Yes, because we knew how to deal with 80k. Suddenly we had to deal with 400k, which is a much larger number.

Absolutely, I won't argue the dark patterns to get kids to spend their parents' money. It's kinda gross that it's simply the industry standard now. I just know it's by far the most interesting competitive real time

> children without symptoms are forced to wear masks even as they run and play Well, yeah, they can be asymptomatic, spread their sickness to other kids, who then take it home to their parents and grandparents.

Well, my argument is that it matters more to them than Objective-C did.
